Hugs!

This first part is for all the non-government people:  The government structures the majority of its employees on a GS scale of 1 - 15, I am a lowly peon GS-12, my site lead is a GS-15.  The people higher then the GS-15's are referred to as SES's.  Essentially senior executies. 

Now the group I work with here was run by a US Army Colonel, but is now being co-run by a civilian SES, who I will refer to as Mr. T.  Now, Mr. T is a very nice guy and his office happens to be right next to where my group sits so we always say hello and exchange pleasantries. I have even smoked a few cigars with him!  (Strawberry and Grape flavored of course)

So one night I was hanging out with my stalker and I walked him back to his room.  He gave me a hug goodnight and as we are pulling apart this random guy walks by and asks where his hug is, as I turn in the other direction here comes Mr. T asking for his hug as well.  Since I knew Mr. T I figured why not, so I give him a hug, explain to the other guy why he didn't get a hug but Mr. T did, and continue on my way.

Fast forward 24 hours, I am hanging out with my friend Bruce and I told him what happened with Mr. T the night before and he says, "I would have given him a hug" I just laughed.  Well as we are walking back to our rooms, who do we run into but Mr. T, and I proceed to ask him if he is ready for his hug.  I give him a hug and then Bruce moves in to give him a hug as well.  He turns to me and says "I told you I would give him a hug".  He certainly did.

The next day I run into Mr. T in the guard shack, we both just look at each other and I bust out laughing, he says to me "I know what your thinking" but to be honest, I was just trying to decide if I should ask him if he wanted his nightly hug a few hours early.
